' as at 38 overlying itsouter face.

After adjusting the worm the desired degree, thead usting n'iechanism is covered by I a cap 80-threaded to a circular bead iOprojecting aboi' e the cover 5, the cap screwing down pressure tight against the finished outer This cap is provided with one or more drilled sealing lugs42, andthe cover with a SlinlldI cooperating lug'ail, and if desired the bodyot the device with a further cooperating lug at 44 so thatythe device alter being once set and thecap screwed on may be sealed bythe'ofiicial sealer with wire and a lead seal as indicatedat e5.

An Optional adjustment of "the capacity piston is shown in Fig. 5 wherein the end of the threaded stem 34 is slotted for turning with a screwdriver and is then secured with a simple lock nut 46, the whole being covered by La threaded cap 39f fitting pressure tight ted to'the inlet 12 and a delivery pipe to the outlet 13, the pointer 14 is turned to 'zero, the

against the cover 5.

In contemplating my meter it will beseen that itmay readily be assembled by placing in position'all the parts including the entire train of indicating gears without securing them in any way except by the closures 5 and '16. i

, In operation, the

valved pressure oil or lubricant pipe connectoil under pressure is permitted to How through the device or outlet: for any desired purpose, and withsuitable graduations on the dial will register either in poundsot oil passations selected,

ing or in quarts, all depending on the gradu The adjustable piston 32 found toprothe device will accurately register one pound for a pound of oil or g'reaseof greatly differ ing weight-sper quart, and moreover the me-',

I ter'once adjusted and sealed has been found to maintain its accuracy under varying pres sure of oil, thespeedonly being affected by a difference in pressure; I J 'o Iclaim: I 1. A liq'uidineter comprising abody provided with a circular chamber'open at one end, avaned rotor revolvably mounted in the chamber, indicating means connected with said rotor adapted to indicate the number of device ismounted with a' revolutions ofthe same, outlet andinlct ports to the chamber arranged to cause revolution of the rotor upon forcing a liquid through the ports and chamber, a cover on the open end of said chamber, and a disk fitting against the end face of said rotor beneath the cover, and .means tor-adjusting said disk toward and away from said rotor. i

2. A liquid meter comprising a body provided with a circular chamber open at one end, a vaned rotor revolvably mounted in the chamber, indicating means connected with said rotor adapted to indicate the number of revolutions of the same, outlet and inlet ports to the chamber arranged to. cause revolutions of the rotor upon forcing a liquid through the ports and chamber, a cover on the open end of said chamber, and-a disk fitting against the end face oi said rotor beneath the cover, and means tor adjusting said disk toward and away from said rotor,'said last mentioned means including a stem on said disk threadedly extending. through said cover, aworm gear on said stem outside of the cover, and means for locking the worm gear at various points otrevolution.

- 3. A liquid meter comprising a body provided with circular chamber open at one end, a vaned rotor revolvably mounted in the 'chainber, indicating means connected with said rotor adapted to indicatethe number of revolutions of the same, outlet and inlet'ports to the chamber arrang'edto cause revolutions 0t therotor upon forcing a liquid through the ports and chamber, a cover on the open end of said chamber, and a disk fitting aga nst the end time of said rotor beneath the cover,

and means for adjusting said disk toward and away from saidirotor, said last mentioned means-including a stem on said disk threadedly extending through saidcover, a gear on said stem outside of the cover, and a worm in mesh with saidgear rotatably mounted and arranged for revolving said gear and for locking the gear at various points of revolutionQ-" t v V 4; A liquid netercoiiipi'isiiig a body provided witha circular chamber open atone end, a vaned rotor ievolvably mounted'in the Y v chamber, indicating means connected with vide a variation ofsome twenty five to titty r I (said rotor adapted to indicate the number of a percent either way from an average so that revolutions of the same, outlet and inlet ports to the chamber arranged to cause revolution or the rotor upon forcing a-liquid through the ports and chamber, a coverscrewedover the "open end of said'chamber and'provided with a bore rqual in di ameter to said chain- Ill I end, a vaned rotor revolvably mounted in the chamber, indicating means connected With said rotor adapted to indicate the number of revolutions of the same, outlet and inlet ports to the chamber arranged to cause revolution of the rotor upon forcing a liquid through the ports and chamber, a cover screwed over the open end of said chamber and provided with a bore equal in diameterto said chamber, a piston fitting Within said cover movable axially in and out of said chamber adjacent the face of said rotor, and meansoperative from the outside of the cover for so moving said piston and for locking it in adjusted posi tion, a removable cap over said last men tioned means, and means for sealing said cap against removal.

6. A liquid. meter comprising a body pro-,

vided with a circular chamber, an imperit'orate vaned rotor revolvably mounted in the charm ber, indicating means connected with said rotor adapted to indicate the number of revolutions of the same, outlet and inlet ports to the chamber arranged to cause revolution of the rotor upon forcing a liquid through the ports and chamber, and means for causing a certain amount of liquid to by-pass over a number of revolutions of the same, outlet and ;1nlet ports to the chamber arranged to cause 'lGVOlU'DlOH of the rotor upon forcing a llquld through the ports and chamber, and means for causing a certain amount of liquid to bypass over the ends of said vanes thus varying the amount of liquid delivered in respectto a a given number of revolutions of the rotor.
